Royal Enfield Classic 350 Launched with Powerful Engine and Premium Look, Delivers Mileage of 36 KMPL

Royal Enfield has officially launched the updated Classic 350, one of its most loved motorcycles in India. The new model brings a strong blend of old-school charm and modern engineering. With a powerful engine, refined ride quality, and classic design elements, the 2025 Royal Enfield Classic 350 is a big step forward while still staying true to its legacy.

The updated version comes with some cosmetic changes, mechanical upgrades, and improved fuel efficiency, making it more appealing to both new riders and long-time Royal Enfield fans. Whether you’re riding in the city or taking it on long highway journeys, the new Classic 350 promises comfort, style, and reliability.

Royal Enfield Classic 350 – Overview

The Classic 350 continues to hold on to its iconic design, which has always been a big part of its identity. The 2025 version looks familiar but now comes with some subtle design changes and enhanced detailing that make it look even more premium. The round headlamp, teardrop-shaped fuel tank, and wide seat are all still there, but they’ve been refined for a more polished appearance.

Royal Enfield has introduced new color options, better chrome finishing, and improved paint quality. The instrument cluster now includes a semi-digital setup while maintaining the retro analog look. The switchgear also looks more solid and user-friendly than before.

From the side, the bike retains its vintage charm with spoked wheels (in some variants), a long exhaust pipe, and clean body lines. Whether you’re into old-school bikes or just want something that stands out, the Classic 350 delivers in style.

Engine & Performance

Powering the new Classic 350 is a 349cc single-cylinder engine, the same unit seen on the Meteor 350 and Hunter 350. It produces 20.2 bhp of power and 27 Nm of torque, which is more than enough for relaxed city riding and steady highway cruising.

The engine is air-oil cooled and uses a balancer shaft, which helps in reducing vibrations — one of the biggest complaints in older Royal Enfield models. The 5-speed gearbox is smooth, and the clutch feels lighter, making it easier to ride in city traffic.

While it’s not a fast bike, it offers strong low-end torque, allowing you to ride at low speeds in higher gears without frequent gear changes. That makes it ideal for relaxed, stress-free rides, whether solo or with a pillion.

Ride & Handling

The new Classic 350 uses a double-cradle frame instead of the older single-tube frame, improving overall stability and ride quality. The front telescopic forks and twin rear shock absorbers provide a soft, cushioned ride that absorbs most road bumps with ease.

The bike is a bit heavy at 195 kg, but once in motion, the weight feels manageable. The riding posture is upright and comfortable, with well-positioned footpegs and wide handlebars, making it suitable for long-distance travel.

Braking duties are handled by disc brakes on both ends along with dual-channel ABS, which improves safety and stopping performance, especially during sudden brakes or wet road conditions.

Features & Tech

Though it’s a retro bike, the new Classic 350 comes with a good number of useful features:

• Semi-digital instrument console with digital odometer, trip meter, fuel gauge

• Turn-by-turn navigation (on top variants) with Tripper display

• Electric start

• Dual-channel ABS

• LED tail lamp and halogen headlamp

• USB charging port (optional accessories)

• New switchgear for better grip and functionality

The focus remains on keeping things simple and user-friendly, without going overboard on unnecessary tech.

Mileage & Fuel Efficiency

Fuel efficiency has improved in the new Classic 350 thanks to engine refinement and tuning. The claimed mileage is 36 KMPL, which is quite good for a 350cc motorcycle. In real-world riding, users can expect around 30–32 KMPL, depending on traffic conditions and riding habits.

With a 13-litre fuel tank, the bike can easily cover over 400 km on a full tank, making it a great option for touring and long-distance travel.

Price & Variants

The 2025 Royal Enfield Classic 350 is offered in multiple variants, with different finishes, wheel types, and color schemes. Prices start at ₹1.93 lakh (ex-showroom) and go up to around ₹2.25 lakh, depending on the version and optional accessories.

Some popular variants include:

• Redditch Series (Basic trim, single-channel ABS)

• Halcyon Series

• Signals Edition (Army-themed)

• Chrome Edition (Top-spec with the most premium styling)

This wide range of variants ensures there’s something for every type of buyer.
